  1. Yep, I'm counting on one of those two to come through for me. XTB has the best aesthetics, imo and Takara is hit or miss on aesthetics but they usually have the best engineering.
  2. Not a fan of it. I want both modes to look good...kinda the point of Transformers to me. I do understand it's a well made toy, I just don't like the aesthetics. Same goes for the DX9 one and all the Jazz options so far.
  3. Thanks, I'll check it out! Maz always has good write ups. Again, I haven't payed attention to any TF news. I just don't care anymore enough to. I think once I get a good Jazz and Galvatron, I'm pretty much done.
  4. Thanks for the tip! I normally would read every post and watch every review for the thing before I even opened it but again, I care so little about TFs these days, I haven't bothered checking anything before I opened this one. I noticed that backpack swivel when I was transforming it and luckily, it was tight and blocked by kibble so I had to examine closely before I could turn it. In doing so, I was very careful and able to move everything out of the way first so the actual rotation went smoothly for me. I'll definitely keep an eye on it. Thanks!
  5. Just opened and went through the features and transformation for MP-39 Sunstreaker. Oh man is it good! Incredible engineering and so many Masterpiece moments. I haven't cared much for Transformers in a while but this one is really good. I've had Badcube Sunstreaker since it came out and never bothered transforming it. After experiencing the MP, I don't think I'll ever transform the BC version now. Sorry, no time/energy for pics yet but highly recommended.
  6. The previous regular release 0S is IMO, the best Valk made out of all the ones I own. I think it is just about the exact same height as the 1/48 VF-1...I have mine standing next to a 1/48 right now so I can confirm later on. Yeah, it should be. See above. This one has more tampo printing on it. It's not twice as much as the previous release, even if you bought the previous one on clearance. And yes, I hesitated a bit but I did fall for it this time.
  7. Lol, ah wth...ordered!
  8. Nippon-Yasan, Anime Export, HLJ, amiami, CDJapan, Hobby Search...

    Crouching Regult, Hidden Missile Pod!
  10. I was thinking two initially but now I'm near deciding not to get any... Thanks for the date...Since I'm planning on buying from NY if I do get one, I feel like they might be opposite with these Arcadia exclusives compared to Bandai exclusives and might sell out before the official date. I don't remember for sure but I guess if they sell out, it makes my decision easier, lol.
  11. Damn, that looks really good! I'd probably keep that one without the armor and on display. I'm getting gun shy...I was thinking I might get two PFs when it was announced but now, looking at them in cart, I'm hesitant. I'm even considering not getting any and just waiting for the A & D. These things are expensive but I better decide quick!
  12. You just recently got the scout troopers? Nice find! Nice Raider too!
  13. Seems like just a matter of time before 0A and 0D PFs are announced. I'm in mainly because I skipped the last release.
  14. Nice! How's the computer?

    I don't have any problem with it and I just looked and there doesn't seem to be any restrictions on image posting so I think you are all good!

    Pics look great @jenius, I like the grey bg. The image is indeed 4k (3840 x 2160) although I thought we were limited to uploading smaller images here for bandwith reasons.
  18. Just curious, why would other MW members need you to buy items from amiami for them? Also, buying directly from Arcadia would require some proxy service anyway right? In the end, I'm just interested in the cheapest/easiest way to get these things and that usually ends up being Nippon-Yasan.
  19. Yeah, I want to...but just opened my Arcadia Max, which was a bigger priority and then Milia is up next, followed by poor Hikaru 1S, which has been buried for months now.
  20. Got my Sunstreaker the other day too! Don't know when I'll get around to opening it. My BC version is still sitting on a shelf and I haven't tried to transform it yet.
  21. I just opened, transformed back and forth and looked over my Arcadia Max 1J and it is perfection. No flaws or issues like some people have reported. All the joints are perfect, no stress marks and parts all attach and detach as they should. Only thing I can think about complaining about is the left landing gear doors don't line up as perfectly as the right side but it's so minor. I'm friggin so happy to finally have the M&M pair in this line.
  22. Well damn, might have to bite on this and have the regular in the armor.
